So the point isn&#39;t the have them touch the ground, but to continue reaching and stretching your body. Not sure if she just told us that to make us feel better or what, but I think of it each time I&#39;m in the pose :)lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449729858476363865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953448602216945340.post-85968730872831560972009-05-11T21:19:00.000-07:002009-05-11T21:19:00.000-07:00My heels don't touch the floor in downdog, and I t...My heels don't touch the floor in downdog, and I teach yoga! I just have very tight hamstrings. They are better than they were but I don't know if they'll ever loosen up fully. I think the high number of yoga teachers who came into the job after growing up as dancers has kind of heightened our expectations too much. Normal people aren't that naturally flexible. I was in a yoga class this evening and not one student (including myself) was able to put their chest on their knees in seated forward bend.stephaniehttp://www.namasteph.comnoreply@blogger.com
